Let’s Make It!
- Bake the cake according to the directions.
- When done baking, let cool.
- Crumble and combine the cake and frosting together in mixing bowl. Mix together. If the consistency is too crumbly, add more frosting.
- Shape cake balls by rounding them in your hand and palm. Place onto a parchment lined dish or baking sheet.
- Place cake balls in fridge for 30 minutes (optional but preferred).
- Place the meltable chocolate in a bowl and microwave for a few seconds, stir, and repeat until it starts to melt. Add milk, vegetable oil, or water to achieve a thick but mixable consistency. Don’t add too much liquid or else the chocolate won’t harden!
- Take the cake balls out of the fridge and gently roll in the melted chocolate. Tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess.
- Place the balls onto a parchment lined dish.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
- Enjoy! Place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for a warm cake ball!
- Store in fridge for up to 4-5 days.
